Speaking to reporters Andrews said “Today is obviously an incredibly important day not just for Nigeria, but for the region and for the continent more generally. Our mission has been deployed here since early January. So, today is obviously important, but it’s also a step in the entire process that we’ve been examining over the last two months. And we will continue to stay here into early April to complete our assessment of the overall election process. Here in Nigeria.
The US Envoy said this in an interview with reporters when she visited the Tudun Wada Secondary School polling units in Zone 4 Abuja, where there was a large turnout of voters to cast their ballot today. She noted that the UK team on ground had reports of concerns about how early polling units’ materials arrived in some places but generally the message is that of orderly elections conducted peacefully with people feeling that they are able to exercise their democratic rights which is very good news.
